This week's Rob Brezny

"In every work of genius we recognize our own rejected thoughts," wrote
American essayist Ralph Waldo Emerson. "They come back to us with a
certain alienated majesty." The first part of your assignment, Taurus,
is to identify other people's brilliant creations that remind you of
good ideas of your own that you've failed to develop. The second part
of your assignment is to do something--anything!--to correct for your
neglect. Get started on your own masterpiece.

What happens to buttered toast when it accidentally falls off a table?
According to folk wisdom, it's more likely to land buttered face down,
and hence create a bigger mess than if it had fallen dry side down. In
a research paper published in the European Journal of Physics,
Robert A. J. Matthews scientifically verified that this folk wisdom is
accurate. Or at least it is when conditions are normal. But conditions
are far from normal for you, Scorpio. Cosmic assistance and good luck
are flowing your way in such abundance that they're rendering some laws
of nature temporarily irrelevant. If you knock your toast off the table
each morning for the next 15 days (and it's quite possible you will,
given how excitable you are), it's not likely to ever fall butter-side
down.

I wish I'd stop having a problem with that masterpiece bit.

The tons of cosmic good luck would be REALLY GOOD TO HAVE right now...
